How did ya get 8.8 million....thats alot of hookers to kill

 

i don't have shit for money.


i've made it through like 15 missions though.

 

cheat codes?

 

cheat codes?

 

Do horse racing - I have $183 Million now

 

As for Katana, try jacking a tow truck and backing up to your tank in the garage and pull it out...

 

??

from betting on horses? how do you know who is going to win. you don't get 183 mil off luck...

I haven't done that at all yet.

 

And i still can't get past that R/C Plane mission. Jim the best way i've found is to actually land right behind the courier and open fire. They won't move until you fire on them and by that time its almost too late.

I no longer have a problem in killing the couriers however I can never get back to the starting point with enough fuel left.

I've tried different combo's on which ones to take out first, farthest away first then work your way back, but in the end i'm still always short on fuel. They should have made the mission complete after you blew up the last courier.

However i've learned that those three missions at the R/C store are stand alone one's and other then money and respect, they aren't essential to the completion of the game.


Also anyone else having a blast with the Super GT and some NOS? I love that damn effect once you get on the gas. Now i see why matt likes it so much on his CL.

 

You dont know if you will win... What I did is save at Catalinas and all you have to do is drive down to Montgomery (very short distance) and bet on the long shot. If you win go back and save, if you lose then reload. Rinse and Repeat...

 

Increasing your luck stat obviously will help with that. Did you see it increase with every win or so?

 

That's exactly what I did. I saved about $10k & then went to bet. Bet all $10k. Like fizzle said, bet on the long shot. It's usually 10-12x your bet. When you win, go back & save. If you lose, just load the game. Then go back & bet all again. It's kind of time consuming but you never have to worry about money.

 

How far along in the game do you have to be to bet?

 

this game makes me want to take my bike out soooo bad and fly through city streets

 

you know, i hate to rain on the parade that is the wonder of GTA San Andreas but i have to say, im a bit dissapointed with the technical integrety of the graphics engine on this game. they REALLY are pushing the PS2 far to hard....i cant be the only one who notices the incredibly choppy framerate when going reasonably fast in any vehicle and the jitteriness of some of the shootouts with multiple enemies...also, i think its really annoying how the PS2 cant keep up with the game and you drive into a town or whatever and the PS2 didnt have time to change the building textures from the "far away, blurry, blocky texture" to the "up close, crisp, good looking texture" so you get somewhere and then it takes a few seconds for the buildings to appear how they should....granted, this game IS absolutely incredible but maybe they just pushed the hardware too hard for a game this large....im sure whenever (at least 1 year to 18 months) when Xbox and PC get this game, it will definately not suffer as badly in this regard as the PS2 version is clearly suffering.

 

It is sweet riding a bike in this game!

btw are there harleys in the new one like vice city?

 

I notice this too especially when going top speed in a car or on a bike....pisses me off to no end!

 

Not too sure but you can go to Inside Track Betting in downtown.

 

there are like 5 different kind of bikes.

 

I know what you mean... but the graphics aren't what makes the game so it doesn't really bother me.

On the other hand, it would be a better all around game on xbox or pc.

 

 

same here. I've got like 6mil, and i just finished the lowrider competition. My lowrider is hot though, i've got it all hooked up, with the 10x nitrous shot.

 

Got mine on Sat, going to turn it on for the 1st time when I get home

I got the cheat codes ready and by my side

 

thats what i am trying to beat right not. i always loose by a few points

 

yea it took me 2x before i got it. I could never get the rhythm down. Even when i thought i had it perfect, it didnt give me a good score.

 

soo for the guys who've gotten the game already....Is it really taking over your life? I'm afarid to go get it because I know if i go buy it, i'll never stop playing it and I'll fail out of college real quick! lol...


(Also, question: Ive heard the game is totaly interactive, you have to eat, workout, etc. But i was wondering, do you have to fill your car up with gas and pay$$????

 

yes, the game is a life-consuming thing of beauty. no you dont have to fill up with gas. you do have to eat and workout though...and get clothes, haircuts, tattoos, learn how to drive, fly, ride a bike, work up your stamina and endurance, etc, etc, etc, etc....go get it now and prepare to flush your college semester down the drain

 

You will never have enough fuel if you land the RC plane. You need to learn how to fly it and just fly by shooting. It will take you less time and fuel this way. Well thats how I passed it and I barely had enough fuel to get back in time. The next mission is a lot easier though. (well if you know hot to fly a helicopter that is)

 

 

this game kicks my ass.

im somewhere in the OG Loc missions right now. my muscle/stamina is full... sex appeal is high when in my hot-rod....

but im broke. i got like 3g's

imma try betting...

 

if you didn't figure this out yet...if you take over some other gang territories you get a constant flow of cash in front of your house. I took over a few spots and now I get a few grand every time I go home.

put those socom skills to use and you can get a decent cash flow.

 

Where do you go for the lowrider competition & where do you go to hook up your car?

 

I've been killing the other gang members but they always seem to be in front of or near the safehouses? Am I not doing something right? How do you actually take over a territory? TIA.

 

Its on the mission called 'high stakes, low rider'. Basically you go check up on your sister at the local lowrider hangout, since Sweet doesnt like it that she's dating a Mexican. But first, you get a car from a guy that owes Sweet a favor. This comes automatically. Once you get the car, the mod shop is right there. Go hook up your car, and then drive to the lowrider competition.

 

Go out on the freeway and set your car on fire. When the fire truck comes get in it and start doing the fire truck missions. Since you are on the freeway it is mad easy to get to and from one fire to the next. You also make mad cash for the firefigher missions. That's how I made my money before I took over other gang's turf. I made about $30K in 20 minutes.

 

So how do you take over turf? Do you have to recruit gang members and just blast everyone out?

 

go into another gangs territory (purple on the map). find a group of gang members (usually in white t shirts) and kill them. once you kill a few it will say 'you have started a gang war' and then more gang members will come after you. you can see them at purple blips on the map. kill three waves of them (5-8 guys per wave) and the hood is yours.

 

You have to get to a certain point in the game. I don't remember which mission it is, but I think it is after the OG missions are done and you go back to Sweet's house.

Then to take over turf all you have to do is go to a different gang's turf (It will be shown on the map by indicating the gang's color (i.e., purple for the ballers) and start shooting the gang members. Once you kill all of them that turf is yours. Although they can take it back if you don't protect it.

 

still stuck on this plane mission.... you have to fly really close to the ground, which sucks because of all of the tree's. Hopefully i get past it tonight

 

yeah you cant gang war till after Loc's missions.

i didnt realize Firefighter missions paid so well... imma try that.

 

i wish you could get the Hunter as easy as you could with Vice City.

the Hunter missions pay wicked money.. millions in minutes
